Interesting to note that the first SVG tag has:

<svg version="1.1" baseProfile="tiny" ...

So for upward compatibility reasons perhaps that is something
that has not been considered in the light of Tiny vs. Full
viewers and what to do when encountering the baseProfile (which
I assume most viewers ignore).

We clearly have some disconnect in the Tiny->Basic->Full profiles.
